  Not the same. While on the surface this is correct, Cameron subsequently ran as the face of the party in a general election before assuming office, thereby receiving a public mandate (albeit a weak one first time round due to the hung parliament). May did not.

  And just like Corbyn. That's the way it's always worked in the UK - we don't have a "president". Amazing how many people don't understand this.
